Abstract

An analysis control system 100 of the present invention includes: an engine control unit 103 controlling analysis processing operation of a plurality of analysis engines 110 each executing analysis processing on analysis target data; an analysis processing condition acceptance unit 101 accepting input of an analysis processing condition relating to the analysis target data; and a priority setting unit 102 setting a priority of the analysis engine executing the analysis processing on the analysis target data, on a basis of the analysis processing condition. The engine control unit 103 controls the analysis processing operation of the analysis engines in accordance with the priority set by the priority setting unit.

Claims

1. An analysis control system comprising:

a processor;

an engine control unit, implemented by the processor, that controls analysis processing operation of a plurality of analysis engines, each analysis engine executing analysis processing on analysis target data that is video data captured by a plurality of cameras;

an analysis processing condition acceptance unit, implemented by the processor, that accepts input of an analysis processing condition relating to the video data; and

a priority setting unit, implemented by the processor, that sets a priority of an analysis engine executing the analysis processing on the video data, on a basis of the analysis processing condition,

wherein the priority setting unit places a higher priority on a camera set up so as to capture the video data with an angle of view enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another camera, and places a higher priority on the analysis engine executing analysis processing enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another analysis engine, and

wherein the engine control unit performs controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine on the video data captured by the camera with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing on the video data acquired by the other camera, and performs controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing by the other analysis engine.

2. The analysis control system according to claim 1, wherein the engine control unit controls the analysis processing by at least the one analysis engine with the priority set to a higher value is executed.

3. The analysis control system according to claim 1, wherein the analysis processing condition acceptance unit accepts information based on a result of analysis by the analysis engine as the analysis processing condition.

4. The analysis control system according to claim 3, wherein:

the analysis processing condition acceptance unit accepts information based on a result of analysis by the analysis engine with the priority of the analysis engine set higher as a new analysis processing condition;

the priority setting unit sets a new priority of the analysis engine executing the analysis processing on the analysis target data, on a basis of the new analysis processing condition; and

the engine control unit controls the analysis processing operation of the analysis engines in accordance with the new priority set by the priority setting unit.

5. An information processing device comprising:

a processor;

an analysis processing condition acceptance unit, implemented by the processor, that accepts input of an analysis processing condition relating to analysis target data of analysis by an analysis engine, wherein the analysis target data is video data captured by a plurality of cameras;

a priority determination unit, implemented by the processor, that determines a priority of the analysis engine executing analysis processing on the video data, on a basis of the analysis processing condition; and

a priority setting unit, implemented by the processor, that sets the priority in an analysis processing device so that an engine control unit controls analysis processing operation of a plurality of analysis engines in accordance with the priority, the analysis processing device including the engine control unit controlling the analysis processing operation of the analysis engines,

wherein the priority determination unit places a higher priority on a camera set up so as to capture the video data with an angle of view enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another camera, and places a higher priority on the analysis engine executing analysis processing enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another analysis engine; and

wherein the priority setting unit sets the priority in the analysis processing device so that the engine control unit performs controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine on the video data captured by the camera with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing on the video data acquired by the other camera, and performs controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing by the other analysis engine.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program comprising instructions for causing a computer to execute:

an analysis processing condition acceptance unit that accepts input of an analysis processing condition relating to analysis target data of analysis by an analysis engine, wherein the analysis target data is video data captured by a plurality of cameras;

a priority determination unit that determines a priority of the analysis engine executing analysis processing on the video data, on a basis of the analysis processing condition; and

a priority setting unit that sets the priority in an analysis processing device so that an engine control unit controls analysis processing operation of a plurality of analysis engines in accordance with the priority, the analysis processing device including the engine control unit controlling the analysis processing operation of the analysis engines,

wherein the priority determination unit places a higher priority on a camera set up so as to capture the video data with an angle of view enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another camera, and places a higher priority on the analysis engine executing analysis processing enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another analysis engine; and

wherein the priority setting unit sets the priority in the analysis processing device so that the engine control unit performs controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine on the video data captured by the camera with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing on the video data acquired by the other camera, and performs controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing by the other analysis engine.

7. An analysis control method comprising:

accepting input of an analysis processing condition relating to analysis target data of analysis by an analysis engine, wherein the analysis target data is video data captured by a plurality of cameras;

setting a priority of the analysis engine executing analysis processing on the video data, on a basis of the analysis processing condition; and

controlling analysis processing operation of a plurality of analysis engines in accordance with the priority;

placing a higher priority on a camera set up so as to capture the video data with an angle of view enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another camera, and placing a higher priority on the analysis engine executing analysis processing enabling detection of an object that is the analysis processing condition rather than on another analysis engine; and

controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine on the video data captured by the camera with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing on the video data acquired by the other camera, and controlling such that the analysis processing by the analysis engine with the higher priority is executed prior to the analysis processing by the other analysis engine.
